A harpoon slashed across the sky and thudded into Dragonfly’s hull, the point piercing her port side. She began closing in once more; her propellers chopping through the clouds, throwing dark shadows across their stern. It felt like both grew a grudging respect for Ysolda as the adventure progressed, and the build of those relationships was subtle and well drawn. I have always loved the rhythms and textures of Kiran's writing, It is so warm, engaging and readable every time.

The ending sets up well for the next instalment, and leaves you wondering where the story will go next. He believes one should read a lot wider than deportment manuals if one plans to get an exceptional education. As a child he found inspiration visiting TV and film sets, where his mum worked as a costume designer. It was a trick she’d practised many times, first learned from The Notorious Jack Door: Escapologist and Thief Extraordinaire – the book, not the man himself.

The award-winning author of the Cogheart series has a new story filled with chess, adventure and clockwork! Sharp metal spikes stuck out from her hull, making her look like some sort of militarized porcupine.

Peter grew up in South London in a rambling Victorian house with three cats, two dogs, one sister, an antique-dealer dad and an artist mum. Malkin let out a bark of alarm as a stench of burning gas filled the flight deck, and the needles in the rows of instrument panels flickered into the red danger zones.The Branford Boase Award Judges' Comments - ‘what he does with the ideas is really good and the world-building is excellent’; ‘children reading this will feel inspired’; ‘imaginative and fun, would make a great film’.
